Opera Singer Quotes

I think I’ve been influenced by everything I’ve ever heard. The first thing I ever heard was my grandma, who was an opera singer.

When you decide to become an opera singer, it’s a commitment that allows nothing else to interfere. Even your family - and I have a young daughter - has to take second place Picture Quote #1

A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you’ve got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer Picture Quote #1
